Wow, how many piece, forged? That's lighter than Drex' OZ Superleggera IIIs. Even the Work VS-XX on AMGSC's car was nearly 28lbs.

The spoke pattern on these are reminiscent of a reverse Brabus Monoblock VI pattern (which were bricks Blake :p).

I ALMOST bit the bullet on some VS-XX, but the weight issue scared me. I want a trackable, nimble car.

I win with 20lbs front and rear.

26lbs is about normal weight for forged/semi-solid 19x9.5

Nope. Pretty standard for multi-piece forged rims, but if you compare to other rims...it's actually fairly "light".

Mine are 25f/26r, from what I remember.
